Allegiant flies to just as many major cities or their satellite airports. Our passengers are just as hood/trashy. Maybe more so.
But yeah, nobody knows who the hell allegiant is unless they've flown us. Everyone who has access to YouTube knows who spirit is and what they're known for, There's gotta be a reason. Maybe it's just that spirit is the largest of the three.
It will be interesting to see if this stops after the company becomes JetBlue.
Probably the same reason people say “coke” when they want a carbonated drink in some parts of the country. The brand “coke” is synonymous with the drink type. Spirit is the “coke” of cheap flying and the incidents from it. Like I said, it’s the established punching bag and will continue to be because “Spirit” has that established connotation, no matter if the airline has issues or not from this point on, it’s funny because it’s Spirit. It’s not that complicated, they are an easy well known target that gets the laughs.
And to the big boy with his hands behind his back, sticking up for the woman who initiated assault and battery against the agent, what a joke. Such a tough guy, like she was an innocent.
